Greeley birders Joe Himmel and Dick Maxfield drove down to Chatfield today and just phoned me. They are looking at the Western Gull at the Swim Beach, after searching its usual haunts for over an hour. I am really glad that their efforts were rewarded. As many of you know, Joe Himmel is a retired vocal music professor at the University of Northern Colorado. He has birded "forever" in northeast Colorado, with special affection for Lower Latham and Riverside Reservoirs, as well as Crow Valley. He discovered the nifty and productive migrant trap (now known as "Norma's Grove") decades before it received its current appellation. Joe was the first ever recipient of the Colorado Field Ornithologists Lifetime Achievement Award, and he celebrated his 90th birthday last winter. THANKS for the update, and keep on birding, Joe Himmel! Joe Roller, Denver
